""I think the biggest thing is, initially, as a coach and a leader, I have to teach,""
""What levels of anger does that bring out of me? Well, it's about intent. Were you unprepared with a controllable? Were you unprepared for the game based upon assignment?""
""That triggers me. So when that did happen, it wasn't the major thing, but when it did happen, yeah, I was pissed because you are taking down everyone when you aren't on your job responsibilities.""
""He wouldn't mind me saying this," offensive tackle Kendall Lamm said, "he's not the biggest guy, but you can feel his presence.""
Mike McDaniel reacted angrily after a 33-8 loss to Indianapolis and focused on teaching and accountability rather than theatrics. McDaniel evaluates intent and is triggered when players are unprepared for controllables or assignments. He made clear that failing job responsibilities harms teammates and merits a strong response. Players said his tone and presence communicated seriousness without shouting or physical displays. Offensive tackle Kendall Lamm and receiver Jaylen Waddle described feeling McDaniel's presence and understanding his message. Outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips emphasized respect for McDaniel and responsiveness when McDaniel delivers a serious message.
